Varonis Systems Releases Version 5.8 of Varonis DatAdvantage

Varonis Systems, a major player in unstructured and semi-structured data governance software, has recently unveiled its latest version of Varonis DatAdvantage software, which provides more flexible, easy-to-manage and cost effective data governance for unstructured and semi-structured data. It now also boasts of internally developed collectors, which can run in addition to or instead of Varonis probes running Microsoft (News - Alert) SQL.

Collectors are able to compile the information without an SQL server, which further helps reduce both the financial and operational overheads associated with a database, thereby improving performance and making them easier to implement.

The latest version also features a new management console, scheduler and command line interface, which allows for all tasks to be managed from a single point, including the addition and removal of probes, file servers, and domains.

Officials reported that Version 5.8 of DatAdvantage software also includes an incremental file walk feature, which helps enhance performance. Organizations, with the help of this are allowed to only scan those files for permission changes that have been accessed, which increases overall efficiency and reduces bandwidth.

In a statement, Yaki Faitelson, CEO, president and co-founder of Varonis, said, "These latest enhancements reflect a leap forward in our technology. Our battle-tested solution continues to mature, offering a more flexible and adaptable architecture."

"We have changed the architecture of the product so that the people who already rely heavily on DatAdvantage to improve management and security for their unstructured data platforms can integrate it into their workflow even more seamlessly, while those new to the technology will benefit from the experience and input from those who have come before them,” Faitelson added.

Varonis solutions, being based on patented technology and a highly accurate analytics engine, provide organizations with total visibility and control over their data for optimum and unprecedented business efficiency.
